Oxford Ciy players paid a visit to the Oxford Children’s Hospital yesterday to meet staff and patients ahead of Easter.

Men’s players Max Metcalfe and Ewan Clark and Women’s players Billie Bough-French and Reese Ayers went along to give out Easter Eggs and play games with some of the young patients and Ewan summed the day up when he told us

“It was a pleasure to go along and meet everyone. It wasn’t just the patients but also their families and especially the staff who do such an amazing job. We are very fortunate in Oxford to have the Chiildren’s Hospital. People come from far and wide to get treatment and to have such a facility right on our doorstep is incredible.

Geordia Boodell, Health Play Specialist for Oxford Play Services, said

“Every day the children see the same staff and physios, especially those who are in here for a long time , so for them to meet the players and for those players to give up their time and to bring in gifts and Easter Eggs has been really nice.”

Oxford City FC would like to thank Co-Op in Marston and Swindon for helping make the visit such a success by kindly donating Easter Eggs.

Oxford City Women are at home to Winchester City Flyers on Easter Sunday (2pm) while the Men’s team take on Peterborough Sports at the MGroup Stadium on Easter Monday, kick off 3pm
